CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean PatentApplication No. 10-2018-0034707, filed on Mar. 26, 2018, in the KoreanIntellectual Property Office, the entire content of which isincorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND 1. Field

One or more embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a condensedheterocyclic compound and an organic light-emitting device including thesame.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices are self-emission devices that producefull-color images, and also have wide viewing angles, high contrastratios, short response times, and excellent characteristics in terms ofbrightness, driving voltage, and response speed, as compared to otherdevices in the art.

An example of such an organic light-emitting device may include a firstelectrode disposed on a substrate, and a hole transport region, anemission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode,which are sequentially disposed on the first electrode. Holes providedfrom the first electrode may move toward the emission layer through thehole transport region, and electrons provided from the second electrodemay move toward the emission layer through the electron transportregion. Carriers, such as holes and electrons, recombine in the emissionlayer to produce excitons. These excitons transit (e.g., transition orrelax) from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generatinglight.
